      Duckduckgo has worked wonders for me, the app has a search widget as well.

          DuckDuckGo can search using almost any search engine anonymously. Want to search Bing? !b query. Google? !g query. Scratch this, I remembered wrong what those do.
          I do believe there’s a setting to aggregate the top results from several different engines as the default search algorithm.

              Ah, you’re right, my bad. I could have sworn I remembered a search syntax on ddg for searching different sites with an anonymous query - apparently ! operators are not it

            DuckDuckGo has a problem with booleans. I had to give up the Duck because of this. I’m using Mojeek, MetaGer and SearXNG these days.

        Don’t forget about bangs for searching alternate sites: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs !w = wikipedia, !e = ebay, !zillow = guess, !r = reddit, etc

        Just put your bang in front of the rest of the search you want to do on that site: !g why doesn’t Google use bangs? !ddg Why does Duck Duck Go use bangs?

      Kagi is not only decent but much better. It’s fantastic. I switched when it was new and never looked back.

      Try a few searches with both Kagi and Google and you should see quite different results.

        Yeah, I’m not gonna pay to search the internet. No way.

          Lol that’s a wild concept. $5 for 300 searches… so now when I go down a rabbit hole I have to count my searches.

          Also, that gives them perverse incentives. If they make searching just a little frustrating they can get more searches out of you = more money. That’s not right.
